I want to live in Dubai one day. Thought you should know.
:silly:

Have you guys seen these islands? They're manmade, and it's nuts.
http://www.thepalm.ae/index.html

Bill Clinton has a house there, SRK has a house there....

One of the Palm Islands:


The houses there are ridiculously gorgeous, probably because the trees/grass/everything is brand spankin' new. It's kind of creepy. But gorgeous.

And I'm going to live there. So um, yeah.

3. Aww heck yeah, I'm going to have many barbeques.
And make googly eyes at Shah Rukh Khan, ask Bill and Hillary to borrow some eggs, for sure!

6. Can we turn it into our own
"Single mothers w/ great 90's soundtracks" kind of island?

And can we lock up our male harem there?

7. That would be the awesomest.
I think they have very fine facilities where our male harem would not feel at all put out. They could have their own houses and everything. I would be okay with that. As long as a certain Indian male of about 40 years whose initials are S and K came to visit quite, quite, often.

We would be doing very G rated activities. Like reading phonebooks and such.

I am sure we can get Trent Reznor to drop by, as we will have many pianos and electronic machines.

:silly:

8. Of course Trent will be there!
He will show up as soon as I Fed-Ex him one of my bras and explain that not only do I fill it out but that's all natural. Most men would show up just for that reason.

But we need to add many more men to the harem, besides Trent. Our plan to share him will make him very tired most of the time.

10. Shoot, I alone could make him very tired
You can mail him your bra, and I can tell him that I can stick my feet behind my head.

He'll totally come! :bounce:

11. Yes he will.
Between the three of us we'll exhaust him and have him begging for mercy.

I like it when a man begs. The video for "Closer" has nothin' on what I can do to him.

He'll be begging to taste the honey...never mind. That'll definitely close this thread!

:D

But yeah, I wonder what the white slavery laws are in Dubai? Or international trafficking of rock stars for immoral purposes?

14. I think that when we are done, Trent will no longer care.
He'll beg to stay w/ the three of us forever(unless Khash joins us then it can be one huge orgy!).

And he'll promise to make music only for us, his biggest fans and will teach my daughter and tj's daughter to play the piano.

Nice dream, isn't it? It only helps that he's hot and a liberal kind of man!

16. Why not?
It is my fantasy, dammit, and if I want Trent to give my daughter piano lessons he will!

Then he will go back to my room and disrobe. I have other plans for him.

18. I'm still really stuggling with the mental image
of you, me, TJ, Khashka, and Trent in Dubai with Trent whiling away the time giving piano lessons to your kids...

20. He says that he likes kids.

The piano lessons are for the times that he just needs a break from all of the nonstop sex. He will be expected to give said lessons shirtless and wearing his black leather pants, of course.

Bowflex.

Thoughts of him w/o a shirt on...I really need to snap out of it!

33. Exactly.
How do you explain to a straight man what the obsession is?

Besides, I had two threads locked earlier that night. I had to keep Trent clean.

lessons for the kids!

25. I get him first.
Someday, I will send one of our entire threads about him to his access page on nin.com.

He loves replying to goofy shit like this-let's see what he has to say about this!

17. Wow. Those are...really horrible.
In a ridiculously artificial, tacky, ostentatious, too-much-money-and-not-enough-taste sort of way. (With that said, somehow Bill Clinton's having a house there doesn't seem too surprising, somehow.)

36. I love Dubai
I live about 20 minutes away, and it's an exciting place. I've thought about moving there, myself, but I kind of like Sharjah, so I'm pretty sure I'm staying here for at least a few more years.

I didn't know Clinton had a home here. I knew he's been here several times, but not that he has a home here.

Enter the Seven Stars competition.

That island pattern is certainly stunning.

44. I'd love to go to the Dubai World Cup sometime
Unfortunately it's during tax season (I'm an accountant). Maybe if I win the lottery (or the 7 stars thing).

45. Wouldn't it be incredible?!
Last year, I was in the top 10 in my country for a while, but then slipped way down. It was pretty exciting to be up that high!

How about staying at this hotel?

Not that I care either way, but where did you uncover that info?

42. The great and wise SRK hath sayeth so himself.
But if you need "real" verification, Variety magazine also confirms it.

“I know it's going to be a little expensive but I'll have David Bekham and Bill Clinton as neighours! I guess that should console the holes in my pocket” he humors us." (whoever wrote that up spelled Beckham wrong LOL)

http://www.indiafm.com/features/2005/4/5/339/index.html


"Meanwhile, construction is under way nearby on the Palms, two man-made islands that will include villas, hotels and apartments. David Beckham, Bill Clinton and Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan have reportedly bought property here."
